| − | '''QuakeC''' is a language developed by [[id Software]] for their smash hit game, [[Quake]]. It is inspired by the C programming language, but has many many differences. While not particularly powerful, it made Quake one of the most easy to edit games of its day and spawned literally millions of [[mod|mods]]. In fact the total quantity of mods easily exceeds [[Quake 2]], [[Quake 3]], and [[Half-Life]] combined. | + | '''QuakeC''' is a language developed by [[id Software]] for their smash hit game, [[Quake]].

While not particularly powerful, it made Quake one of the most easy to edit games of its day and spawned literally millions of [[mod|mods]]. In fact the total quantity of mods easily exceeds [[Quake 2]], [[Quake 3]], and [[Half-Life]] combined. However, most of them are no longer available as the great hub of the community, [[PlanetQuake]] lost interest in Quake, when Quake 2 came out, and started dumping sites and mods left and right. Another major hit to the community is that [[The Fall of CDRom.com|cdrom.com]] stopped, a long time ago, accepting uploads for Quake and even the new location of the community archives doesn't accept uploads. |
